[Broads01]

Just spotted this and enjoyed. Times have changed so much in 40 + years and yet so much is still the same.

[SPEEDTRIPLE]

Talk about brining back happy memories, but did anybody els spot the major mistake?. I`l give it a couple of days, then i`l spill the beans. Dan might have noticed it?. Any takers?.

 

 

Regards to all .......................... Neil.

Great stuff, really enjoyed it and it did remind me of old times. Thanks.

hi Neil,

I didn't spot a mistake,

but at about 4:07 he put diesel into the diesel tank,

and at 4:17 it looked like he put water into the water tank

Is that the right way to do it.....

 

[MauriceMynah]

Was that a "Reed Bunting" the narrator identified as a "Reed Warbler" ?

Didn't notice anything else

Yes, surprising that they didn't edit it out, a "major mistake", as you say Neil.

 

At 3:36 the Narrator says  "200 miles of cruising waterway"....    

 

 

Yes, a very interesting film Jill, brings back memories for me too, from the same period, thanks for posting the link.  I'd like to have watched the HD version, but my authentic Broads Broadband speed even buffers the low bandwidth version !

As Neil has said that Dan might have noticed it, I would think it is hire boat related.

[VetChugger]

Hire boats don't usually fly the red rag do they? Or have things changed over the years? T'was a different boat that actually went under Potter Bridge as well I think!

 

Another observation is that this was likely the days of Watneys Red Barrel and Norwich Bitter so to say "First class beer" is nothing short of an outright fib!

The one thing that I noticed is that the boat " Santa Caterina" according to my memory was based at Harvey Eastwood at Brundall. The family going on board look like they are doing so at Loddon at what I think was the Aston Boats yard.

Absolutely spot on Jeff, it was indeed one of Harvey Eastwoods boats being taken from Aston Boats Loddon.

 

Dan, ....... I would have thought you of all people would have got that one?>

[Ebbtide]

A really interesting film very nostalgic. I had to call my wife in to see it, When it was showing London St in Norwich, she was employed at Bullens the Jewellers shortly after the film was made, there was a lovely shot of the shop.

 

Things have changed somewhat but many identifiable places on the Broads, and around it. Almost made me feel young again..............Almost !!!

 

Thanks Jill for posting it.
